Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device®

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

Trezor.io/Start is your official starting point for initializing and securing your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you have a Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this guide ensures you start safely and avoid counterfeit sites or unsafe firmware.

Step 1: Visit the Official Trezor® Website

To ensure your wallet’s safety, only use the official URL: trezor.io/start. Never trust links shared on social media or unverified sites.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite®

• Click “Download for Desktop” on the official page.
• Choose your operating system: Windows, macOS, or Linux.
• Follow the on-screen installation guide.
• Alternatively, access the web version without installing.

Trezor Suite® acts as your control center — where you’ll manage crypto, update firmware, and confirm all transactions safely.

Step 3: Connect and Initialize Your Device

Once Trezor Suite® is installed, connect your device with the USB cable provided in your Trezor box. You’ll see guided steps on your screen:

• Choose “Set up new wallet” or “Recover wallet”.
• Install the latest firmware when prompted.
• Follow all security instructions displayed on your Trezor screen.

These steps ensure your device operates with verified firmware directly from Trezor’s servers.

Step 4: Create and Store Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the most critical backup of your wallet. During setup, your device will display 12, 18, or 24 unique words — write them down carefully and keep them offline in a secure place.

• Never take a photo or store your seed digitally.
• Never share it with anyone — not even Trezor Support.
• Consider using a fireproof seed backup for extra protection.

Step 5: Secure Your Wallet

• Set a strong PIN directly on your device screen.
• Optionally, enable a passphrase for an additional layer of security.
• Only confirm transactions on your Trezor device — never from the app alone.

Step 6: Manage Your Crypto Safely

After setup, you can use Trezor Suite® to manage your crypto portfolio with confidence:

• Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely.
• Check real-time balances and portfolio value.
• Exchange or buy assets via trusted partners integrated into Suite.
• Activate Tor mode to enhance privacy and hide your IP address.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If Trezor Suite® doesn’t recognize your device:

• Ensure your firmware and Suite are up to date.
• Use the original USB cable or a different port.
• Restart your computer and reconnect the device.
• Visit the official Trezor Support Center for step-by-step assistance.
